"This system was created to give Iowans the flexibility to renew their driver's license or I.D. when and where it is convenient for them," said Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad in a news release.

You should be able to use the new system if you have a valid Iowa driver's license or ID, if you are at least 18 but younger than 70 years old, your license or ID has not been expired for more than a year, it is less than 180 days to the renewal date on your current license or ID.

You must also be a U.S. citizen, not have any medical or vision conditions that would impact your ability to drive and you do not need to change the address or name printed on your card.

Renewal cards will have the same photo that is on your current driver's license.

No one likes standing in line and waiting to renew a driver's license. But that's all about to change. KCCI's Amanda Lewis has the story. Almost Iowans will need is access to the web. But even those who will have to make the trip to the license renewal center .. Your lines are about to get a lot shorter. There are two big complaints about the driver's license renewal center. This is number one. show the sign saying closed on Mondays The other? 10:24 WAITING IN LINE IS TERRIBLE. I JUST DID THAT IN MARCH AND THERE WERE LIKE 250 PEOPLE THERE, I SWEAR AND I THINK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAVE THE FLU. IT WAS PRETTY AWFUL! Jeni Rector runs errands during her hunch hour.. Last time she renewed her license she was there for an hour and a half. 10:47 IT JUST WAS TERRIBLE. So the news that most Iowans will be able to renew their licenses online went over VERY well. 4:57 I APPRECIATE IT. I DO MOST OF MY BANKING AND EVERYTHING ELSE ONLINE. 5:54 IT'S PROBABLY THE WAY A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING TO START CHANGING TO. The DOT still wants to see you in person every other renewal period. And if you need to change something on your license. Or if you have medical condition that affects your ability to drive. Otherwise, what used to take an hour or more out of your day.. Will now take minutes on the web. 10:10 I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA EXCEPT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HAVE REALLY HORRIBLE LICENSE PHOTOS! A couple of other things. The online service is for drivers between the ages of 18 and 70 and you must already have a valid license or ID. Check it out at https: gov.
